EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the year 1936, where we find Franklin Roosevelt engrossed in a seemingly simple yet profound activity - looking at stamps. Captured by Harris & Ewing, renowned photographers of their time, this intimate moment reveals a lesser-known side of the 32nd President of the United States. Seated comfortably in an upholstered chair, Roosevelt is surrounded by books and textbooks that reflect his intellectual curiosity. With a magnifier in hand, he carefully examines each stamp with great attention to detail. The flowers placed on his desk add a touch of elegance to the scene while symbolizing growth and renewal. This portrait offers us a glimpse into Roosevelt's private world – one filled with contemplation and appreciation for small treasures. It reminds us that even amidst the weighty responsibilities of leading a nation during challenging times, there is always room for personal interests and moments of respite. The image captures not only Roosevelt's love for philately but also his dedication to knowledge and understanding. It serves as a reminder that leaders can find solace in simple pleasures while continuing to shape history. Preserved within Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, this remarkable print allows us to connect with an iconic figure from American history on an intimate level. As we observe him engrossed in his hobby, we are reminded that even great leaders have moments when they seek solace through quiet pursuits.
